In Ascot, fire extinguisher maintenance is a practical duty, not just a paperwork exercise. UK fire safety legislation places responsibility on the duty holder to ensure that extinguishers are suitable for the risks on site, kept in working order and capable of being relied upon if an incident occurs. Equipment that is poorly maintained or no longer appropriate can leave gaps in fire protection. Safe I.S. delivers planned fire extinguisher servicing in line with BS 5306, taking into account how each Ascot premises actually functions day to day.
Every extinguisher is assessed individually, covering operating pressure, overall condition, correct signage, secure fixing, positioning and ease of access. Detailed service documentation is provided after each visit, supporting fire risk assessments, compliance reviews and formal inspections.
